Ampacity is the maximum amount of electric current (measured in amperes) that a conductor or device can carry before becoming overheated and potentially failing or causing a safety hazard. This limit is influenced by various factors, including the conductor's material (such as copper or aluminum), its cross-sectional area, the insulation type, ambient temperature, and the installation conditions (such as whether the wire is in open air or buried).
